Mr.. EDITOR-l have been intending
to write you for some time past to thank
you for the paper on taxation and It's
inequalities which you published in
your issue of April 81, because it shows
by most convincing figures t,ken from
our local assessment books, the pressing
necessity of equalizing taxation in Cecil
county as well as throughout the state. |
am not disposed to bubble or quarrel with
successive boards of county commission
ers, although opposed to me iii politics,
and although | believe they could admin
lister our county affairs more economi-
cally. This objection can | think be
fairly and reasonably sustained against
our present road" Sy stem. | believe in
its provisions it is the best we have had,
but still think it costs the taxpayers of
the county too much. So in other mat
tiers OF local administration think money
could be saved. But the main consider

In the county at this time is think to
secure better system OF assessment of
the property of the county, so that all
classes of property shall bear their equal
share of the public burden. To this end
therefore | believe it to be of paramount
Importance that We should seek to send
to Annapolis next winter as delegates to
the state Legislature, men who are not
only personally honest, but who are also
tntfllecta"2y capaj!e of presenting these
questions before that body. In other
words Mr.. Editor the taxpayers of Cecil
county want as their representatives in
the Legislature men not boys. They want
capable business representatives, who,
cOmprehending the necessities of the sit
uatiOn, can present before the Legisla-
ture the reasonable business demands of
their constituents, and back up those
presentations by figures and arguments
prepared as any intelligent business man
could present them in his own individual
behalf. Tho exemptions of property in
Maryland from just taxation Mr. Editor
amount to amazingly large figures.

cages unless au equal amount i'll each
case should be exempted from the gen.
eral assessment of real estate. | have al |
ways held this opinion because | have
never yet heard suggested any method |
to protect the borrower from what |
think is double taxation. Still some
thing should be done | think to encour-
age land investments by placing upon all
classes of personal investment its fair as |
sessment of taxes. In this connection |
send you a communication which have |
just noticed in the Centreville OJsercer
which think is worth republishing.

Take the Tax or Sugar.

The sugar imported into the United
States last year on which a duty was paid
amounted to 2509, 500 pounds, aud the
invoice cost Of this sugar was s7l,3ll,0o0,
very slight fraction over two and eight.
tenth cents per pound. The duty paid was
$50, ,265, ,53s, which increased the price OF the
sugar TO the consumers lust two cents for
each pound.
The average consumption OF sugar TO
each person in the United States during the
year SO 3 pounds, so the direcs tax on
every person In the country, rich aud poor,
old aud young, from the infant It IT.
mothers arms to the centenarlan totter.
ing on the verge OF the grave, was $l.0j q
cents.
And that too for one OF the prime ncces.
stiles Of life. A few large planters In
Louisiana made 300 000,010 pounds OF surar
ard they were the only benencIares of thl.
tax. The United States government not
only did not need the money, but the Demo
cratic authorities are trying to devise some
method to prevent getting so much.
Here is simple, plain, easy plan to stop
taking In S50,OO0,OO0 each year, aui at tlo
same time remove Il blrdensome and an ul-
equal tax, The millionaire who clips the
coupons from his bonds pays no more Of
his tax than the poor workingman who
digs coal or iron from the earth, or the
workingwomau who sits twelve or fourteen
hours day at her sewing mlch!ne to earn
q scSpiy living.
The Democrats dare not pass any bill for
reducing the revenue which does not take
the tax off Of sugar.

Coiored Baptist College in Virginia


The Golored Baptists of Virginia have
determined to erect college or seminary
at Lynchburg, ard the Baptists OF the
country are asked to aid them in the work.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Is always
ready to do Its share for the advancement
Of education of either whites or colored,
ard, as the Colored Baptlsts In Virginia are
poor, it suggests that some of their CO.
rellglonists in this city, who are blesse
with larger share OF the worlds goods,
can hardly make better investment for
future returns than to help build this col.
lege, One of the Lynchburg papers says
OF II
We have before explained the plan that the
coloed Baptsts Of the state have for locating
college or seminary at Lynchburg and the
progress made. The matter was inquired into
by the Baptist General Association which has
Just closed It's sessions here, and the following
eport was made:
Your committee find that they propose to
establish at Lyuchburg seminary for the
higher education Of colOred youth OF b)tu
sexes, is iully indorse1 by the Baptist state
convention lcOlored); that the trustees are
prominent and Influential Bdptlsts, represent.
ing ali parts Of the state, and that the people
of Lynchburg have shown their interest and
confidence by purchasing for the school a
suburban site OF six acres, The present need
Is for $4,000 for bul!din-s.
The committee therefore recommend that
the general association cordially commend the
enterprise to the favorable consideration a1l

to silver and gold allte. The bankers Of
England conspired to demonetlze silver en-.
tirely, and succeeded in securing the as
sistance Of other natlsns. 1t was OF benefit
to England because Of the control It had In
the East Indian trade, where silver was the
only currency; 1t was damage TO every
other nation in the world but England.
II Is serious question, and one thaC
should be considered by Congress, wheth or
or not the free coinage of silver should not
be adopted. A free mint implies free ex.
change Of coin r assayed silver. In other
words, silver of standard fneness passes as
freely as the coined money, and that being
so all the bullion Of the country would st
once become part of It's currency. Where
the mint is not free, as in this country, the
bullion has an added value when II receives
the stamp Of the government. That value
however, does not hold good when It passes
the line ana penetrates into another country.
With a free mint the silver money OF the
country would be as current In other natIone
as II is at home.

Mr., SoeJbeer Is the Acknowledged oracle
Of the European single standard money
school. His tables lately issued show that
from 1870 10 1855 the coinage Of silver con.
sumed 100000 Kilograms of silver
bullion, while the mines produced only
33,el5,COO Kilograms.
These figures are not denied, nor Is the
fact deniable, and statistics prove that be-
